Best for: Built as a boulevard and show-stopping custom cruiser, it's about big V-twin torque, radical styling, and head-turning presence rather than outright cornering ability.
Built for: A brash, chrome-laden American V-twin custom with a fat rear tyre and stretched stance, meant to be seen and heard as much as ridden.
Not ideal for: It's not for riders wanting nimble handling, aggressive cornering, or a bike suited to tight city streets and technical roads.

Scores are derived from the spec sheet using the same model across every bike, so they compare like for like.
